"Without access and a ceasefire, we are condemning children to perish in hell on earth.”
Save the Children reported that since October 6, 2024, children in northern Gaza have been entirely cut off from essential supplies of food, water, and medicine due to the ongoing Israeli siege.
“The situation in northern Gaza is not fit for human survival and yet we know there are about 130,000 children under 10 trapped in those conditions, not to mention the thousands of older children and their families,” said Jeremy Stoner, the charity’s regional director.
He emphasized the dire need for humanitarian aid, stating, “Humanitarian aid to Gaza has hit an all-time low with the appalling situation in northern Gaza the tip of a terrible iceberg. Safe humanitarian access must be granted immediately to allow food, water, winter supplies, and medical assistance to reach those who are trapped in the death zone in the north.”
